I applied online. I interviewed at Air Canada (Edmonton, AB) in Mar 2017
Interview
1)I got a surprise phone call about 1 week after i applied online. The interviewer asked if i had 15 minutes for a short telephone interview. He asked me questions about my experience and qualifications. He switched from english to french throughout the interview. About half the questions were in french and the other half in english. At the end of the phone call, he scheduled me for 2 language test the following week(english and french).
2) I received a phone call at the scheduled time for the language test. The interviewer introduced herself and explained that half way through our conversation she would switch from english to french. She asked me about my current job and what were my duties. She asked how I got the job. She then switched to french and asked why i wanted to be a flight attendant, what did i do yesterday and where i have travelled to. The interview lasted about 10 minutes.

The interview process comprises an initial group meeting with all applicants, followed by a concise overview of Air Canada. Subsequently, the larger group will be segmented into two or three smaller units for individual interviews. These interviews are designed to assess your interpersonal skills, cognitive processes, and professional bearing. You will be presented with a scenario for discussion, followed by a video analysis focusing on a flight attendant's actions, requiring you to evaluate their appropriateness.
